@darood I kinda get your point but I think it really applies to motivation rather than asking advice. I mean, me going out and getting girls purely for bragging rights to stroke my ego/improve my self esteem in front of my peers, is in essence self defeating and will do the opposite.

But asking what works and what doesn't, and learning technique/method surely is fine!

You know what happens to ppl who try to climb a mountain without any training or learning from ppl who have experience, they died cold and alone half up a mountain lol
